The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has chosen 19 students as winners of the 45th Student Academy Awards.


For the first time, a team of five directors is being honored in the international animation category. Previously, the category was limited to honoring two directors per film. All Student Academy Award-winning films are eligible to compete for 2018 Academy Awards in the animated short film, live action short film, or documentary short subject categories.


This year’s Student Academy Awards will be held on Oct. 11 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California. The 2018 winners join the ranks of past title-holders, including Spike Lee, Patricia Cardoso, Cary Fukunaga, and Robert Zemeckis.
